The Story
Melan Thomas Benedict experienced a near-death event from terminal brain cancer while in hospice care. He died for at least an hour and a half. He woke to a blast of light, left his body, and saw light exiting it. He realized he was dead and tried to wake his caretaker but failed. Darkness enveloped him like a scary black hole with others inside. He spotted a distant light and began a life review as a holographic movie playing backwards. It revealed prenatal trauma from his father's abuse, leading to lifelong anger and distrust. He saw how viewing humanity as a planetary cancer caused his own brain cancer. He called for help; a guardian angel guided him through a tunnel where dying souls ascended and newborn souls descended. He met the light, perceived as God, and asked why humanity was dark. The light showed him a mandala of all pure human souls with no evil, filling him with love and rebirth. After returning, he repeated 'I love my life.' His cancer cured, he fell in love with humanity, gained frequent contact with the light, and shared his insights on human goodness and evolution.
